Declaration That There Must Be Revision
Downward Looked Upon as Ultimatum
= = = Senator Snioot Sent For
Washington July 17 President
Taft emphatic declaration yesterday
that he regarded the Republican plat
form as meaning and tho sentiment of
the whole people as demanding re
vision downward eclipsed in interest I
all minor and specific details of the
tariff struggle here today
The statement issued late yester
day after a delegation of congressmen
t had appealed to the President for
maintenance of protection on raw ma
terials particularly iron ore wool
hides oil and lumber purported to b
I an outline report of the discussion
i which took place during the visit or
t delegation and especially of what
the President said to the visitors
but the very fact that such a state
ment was issued at all and In particu
lar the emphatic conclusion of tho
President thus reiterated mado it
clear to all who studied the pronounce
ment that tho President intended it
virtually as an ultimatum
Many read into tho statement a
barply concealed threat on the part
of the President that If tho bill reach
ed him in a form which he regarded
as unfaithful to the promises of his
party and disobedience to the senti
ment from tho people he would veto it
Few of the prominent members of
either house of congress would discuss
the statement for publication and most
of the utterances intended for quota
tion were of perfunctory character
but In confidence many talked freely
and some of the conservatives very
bitterly some went so far as to say
that the Presidents stand meant noth
ing less than tho defeat of the bill
One man said I
Now the standpatters will become
the insurgents the lines will all have
to be reformed and nobody can fore
cast the outcome I
Washington July 17The cotton
schedule was the first thing talten up
I by the conferees today Because of
the contention that the rates levied
by the Dingley law on various classes
of cotton goods were not in all casts
contained the senate redrafted the en
tire schedule substituting specific
rates for the house ad valored wher
ever possible
Representative Payne chairman of
the committee on ways and moans
was of the opinion that the senates
specific rates were higher than the ad
valorems of the house but wore in
tended to be and in order that he
might have time to look into the facts
the cotton schedule had been passed
over
As soon as the conferees met today
Mr Payne informed Mr Aldrich that
he was ready to consider the cotton
schedule but that he would like to
have the senates position explained
The finance committee has depended
upon Senator Smoot for its informa
tion relative to the cotton duties and
he was sent for to explain the reasons
When the conference adjourned for
for the changes sent by the senate
luncheon three changes in the wool
schedule had been agreed upon All of
these were reductions the lower duty
on womens and childrens dress goods
r being made on woolen fabrics welglj
Ing four ounces or over to tho square
f yard and woven Into cotton warp A
reduction of 25 per cent was also made
r In the duty on yarns valued at thirty
cents a pound or less
The duty on tops was made In ac
cordance with the reduced duly on
yarns and is in proportion to tho dif
ference in cost of manufacture be
tween scoured wools and spun yarns
By adopting these three changes
the tariff committee has disposed of
the entire wool schedule I

Plttsburg July 17 For tho first
time since tho Inauguration of the

Stool Car company at MoKees Rocks
an effectual effort on the part of the
strikers to organize themselves into
some semblance of order was brought
about today during a meeting held on
the famous Indian mound near tho
companys plant
The meeting of tho strikers was
quiet Orators asked the men to bo
patient and exercise judgment in what
they said and did Cheers greeted tho
remarks of the speakers who wore of
different nationalities and spoke In
several languages A fair sized fund
was raised Strikers and their sym
pathizers made donations of from 1
to 5 to a general account to bo used
in fighting tho car company for at
least a period of a month
Tho situation is summed up in tho
statement of a lieutenant of con
stabulary who said
° I am convinced that for the pres
ent we have the riot tide on the ebb
I anticipate no trouble either today or
tomorrow What the first of the week
will bring I cannot say We are pre
pared for a long siege and intend to
put down the mob spirit if we remain
here the balance of the summer

to discard the fact that the strikers
would like to come back with us
Of the 1500 men who walked out
on Wedaesday all but COO will be re
employed Those considered as ring
leaders and being primarily respon
sible for the strike have been officially
discharged although they will not
recognize the fact
Bntrgellc denials were made by
President Hoffstott of the car com
pany of charges of unfair methods
and the ruthless taking of human life
He also defended tho pooling system
of wages declaring that it spurred
the men on to their best efforts and
under It workmen earned more than
they would If paid a fixed amounL
In spite of the quiescent attitude of
the strikers company officials still
fear attempts at the destruction ol
their property At their request nine
teei dditlonal deputies wore sworn
In by Sheriff Gumbert yesterday after
noon making a total of nearly 250
deputies and fortyone members of the
state constabulary who are now guard

instanced yesterday when a striker
found a helmet which had been knock
ed off one of the constabulary The
khaki headgear was placed on a polo
and hundreds of men women and chil
dren danced about It hooting and Jeer

Their shouts attracted the troopers

TREE SUSPECTS
I ARE IN CUSTODY
R H Brown G H Spencer and
George Graham a trio of suspicious
looking strangers were arrested late
yesterday afternoon by Sheriff Barlow
Wilson and Deputy Carl Allison after
they had attracted considerable atten
tion on the streets by flashing wads of
phone greenbacks
It Is possible that tho men may bo
the gang which shot up and robbed
the Utah Hot Springs hotel Monday
night and got away with considerable
money from the hotel safe a portion
of which belonged to the United
States government
Whether the suspects had any hand
in this affair or not It is certain that
they belong to that class of grafters
which every community is better off
without if the story of L L Brown
a stranger from Nevada can be be
lieved A short time after the three
men were arrested Brown notified tho
officers that three men answering
their description had inveigled him
into that old old game of matching 1
dollars which has become as common
place as the uiossgrown shell game
After winning seven dollars of the t
gangs money In this war i Brown told
tho officers lie became suspicious and
refused to continue tho game One of
the men then drew a knife and threat
ened to kill him unless tho seven dol
lars ho had won was returned Brown
preferring to return the money rather
than become involved in a quarrel
did so and they parted
This occurred In Ogden Canyon early
In the afternoon Brown was told to
come to tho county Jail He did so
and identified tho men held as tho I
gang which enticed him into the social
little gamo of matching dollars
Employes of tho Utah Hot Springs
hotel were in Ogden this afternoon to
see If they could Identify tho men
under arrest at tho county all After
looking at the prisoners the Hot
Springs men stated that tho robbers
as they remembered them did not
correspond in appearance except in
size to tho men in Jail
Brown Spencer and Graham tho
men under arrest will be tried Mon
day It is said that they threatened
the life of Brown after he hnd won
several dollars from them in the bog
us game
